My art is rooted in painting and I approach video the same way that I would an empty canvas. The footage and editing equipment become the paints and brushes. All of my work begins with a desire to create. Being creative means taking risks. The actual process itself becomes a record of an attempt to be creative.

‘Legacy’ uses footage from The State of the Union Address. I removed all of the words that were phony.

I couldn’t believe this was all from one speech! Let alone the most watched speech and one of the most important speeches a president makes, one would think that he would be more prepared for something so important. This was very humorous to watch!

I though this piece was really interesting. It plays with some mighty topics and I’m not sure it addressed these issues quite enough. I guess I wanted more from this. It was like watching a political cartoon in that the viewer had to fill in the blanks.
